There, the actress stood out in the scenes in which she had to participate, fundamentally in those in which she interacted with her fictional son George, played by Jason Alexanderand her husband in the series, a role played by Jerry Stiller.

Appearing in 27 episodes, Harris showed herself to be the owner of unparalleled grace, both for her shrill tone of voice and her body posture.

Perhaps that characteristic voice was the one that convinced the producers of “Toy Story” of summoning her to give life to the character of Mrs. Potato Head, present since the second film of the saga.

Before these milestones, the actress had acted in minor roles in several films since her debut in “Looking Up”, including a brief intervention in “Once upon a Time in America”by Sergio Leone.

On television, Harris participated in the series “Married with children” and “Night Court”where he had a recurring role.

However, her face will forever be linked to the hilarious scenes of “Seinfeld” and her voice to the protective and focused Mrs. Potato Head from “Toy Story.”
